Differences in technical specifications and characteristics between the Fleece Insulation tubes and the new PE insulation tubes: |
||
|
Feature |
Fleece Super Flex Insulation Tubes |
PE Super Flex Insulation Tubes |
|
Material |
Foam core (or mineral/glass wool) wrapped in soft fleece |
Closed-cell polyethylene foam |
|
Outer Layer |
Soft, fibrous fleece |
Smooth PE skin; sometimes laminated with foil |
|
Flexibility |
Very flexible, easy to bend around curves |
Semi-rigid; slightly flexible but retains shape |
|
Thermal Performance |
λ ≈ 0.035–0.040 W/m·K; can be reduced if compressed |
λ ≈ 0.035–0.038 W/m·K; consistent over time |
|
Moisture Resistance |
Low; fleece can absorb water; needs separate vapor barrier |
High; closed-cell foam resists water and vapor; foil layer optional |
|
Durability |
Outer fleece can wear, fray, or tear |
Very durable; resistant to abrasion and mechanical damage |
|
Compression Resistance |
Can compress under pressure, reducing insulation efficiency |
Maintains shape; minimal compression |
|
Typical Applications |
Indoor plumbing, walls/ceilings, low-moisture environments |
Cold/hot water pipes, HVAC, industrial piping, outdoor use |
|
Pros |
- Soft and decorative |
- Excellent moisture resistance |
|
Cons |
- Less durable |
- Less flexible than fleece |
